The weather is gorgeous, Landon is mobile and interested in EVERYTHING, and I cannot wait for summer break to arrive! I have so many things in mind for us to do this summer, and I simply cannot wait...only 34 school days to go (not that I'm counting). I'm hoping the days fly by and then magically slow down for my time off.
Also, due to the weather, we've had to cut Landon off of being swaddled cold turkey. We put him to sleep every once in a while without it anyway, but he still sleeps so much better with it. He's able to go to sleep on his own without it (yeah!) It just took 2 hours for him to go to sleep for his nap yesterday (yikes!) Let's hope that gets a little easier really soon. He's so excited about being able to stand up and walk along the side of the crib that he just fights going to sleep. It's hilarious (and exhausting) to watch him stand up on one side, talk and babble to himself for a while, crawl to the other side, stand up....back and forth. I've even woken up in the middle of the night to see him in the monitor standing up and "practicing".
Speaking of practicing...he must be getting stronger from all of the standing up, 'cause he's become a surprisingly fast crawler! There's no more hesitation...he sees something he wants, and he's after it, lickity split. It seems like I hardly blink my eyes and he's across the room, standing up to get something. He wants to move around and explore things so badly that he can't even stand to sit long enough to drink his bottle. He gets antsy and tries to crawl away...until he realizes that he's hungry and then cries at me for not feeding him. I'm pretty sure he can't decide which one he wants more :) I think if he could figure out a way to use one of those straw helmets so he never had to stop moving, he would...I'm kinda hoping the novelty of being mobile wears off, but I have a feeling he's just going to be an active kid.
